Abstract We investigate structures recognizable by finite state automata with an input tape of length a limit ordinal. At limits, the set of states which appear unboundedly often before the limit are mapped to a limit state. We describe a method for proving non-automaticity and apply this to determine the optimal bounds for the ranks of linear orders recognized by such automata.

The Field of the Reals and the Random Graph are not Finite-Word Ordinal-Automatic
This work lifts Delhomm\'e's relative-growth-technique from the automatic and tree-automatic setting to the ordinal- automatic setting, which implies that the random graph is not Ordinal-automatic and infinite integral domains are not ordinals below $\omega_1+\omega^ \omega$ where $\omegas_1$ is the first uncountable ordinal.

Tree-automatic scattered linear orders
• Computer Science, Mathematics

• 2016
It is shown that there is no tree-automatic scattered linear order, and therefore no tree's automatic well-order, on the set of all finite labeled trees, and that a regular tree language admits a tree- automatic scattered linear orders if and only if for some n, no binary tree of height n can be embedded into the union of the domains of its trees.

A pumping lemma for alpha-automata (processing finite alpha-words, i.e., words of length alpha that have one fixed letter at all but finitely many positions) is developed and a sharp bound on the height of the finite word alpha-automatic well-founded order forests is provided. Expand
